阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36～55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

As a saying goes, every bean has its black. It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter, is no 36 . Several decades ago he made a mistake —a(n) 37 mistake, though.
On a cold Saturday, Mother’s father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his 38 was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) in China. On his way home, he 39 into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved 40 .
When he 41 replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having 42 him ＄20 that very morning, were heading for China! He had to drive home 43 .
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at
my grandfather’s church, 44 Grandpa and his family also attended.
“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the45 you sent last year. Y ou see, the bandits(土匪) had just 46 through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”
“47 I had the money, there was simply no way of 48 those glasses. 49 not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff 50 the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”
Then, still gripped (吸引注意) with the 51 of it all, he continued: “Folks, when I tried 52 the glasses, it was as thought they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
The people listened, 53 for the miraculous glasses. But the director surely must have 54 their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their 55 of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.
36. A. expectation B. success C. comment D. exception
37. A. perfect B. foolish C. avoidable D. common

45. A. cases B. clothes C. glasses D. wishes
46. A. cut B. swept C. pulled D. broken
47. A. Unless B. As long as C. Until D. Even though

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
We have heard of counterfeiting before. Usually it refers to people making money by printing it instead of earning it. But counterfeiting also can involve all sorts of consumer goods and manufactured products. From well-known brand names such as Calvin Klein jeans to auto parts, counterfeiters have found ways to produce goods that look authentic. In some instances, counterfeit products look better than the original!
The demand of brand-name products has helped counterfeiting grow into a very profitable business throughout the world and into a serious problem for legal manufacturers and consumers alike. Faulty counterfeit parts have caused more than two dozen crashes. Most counterfeit auto parts do not meet federal safety standards.
Counterfeiting hurts manufacturers in many ways. Analysts estimate that, in the United States alone, annual revenue loss runs form $ 6 billion to $ 8 billion. Perhaps even worse, consumers blame the innocent manufacturers when they unknowingly buy a counterfeit product and find it doesn’t perform as expected. Sometimes entire economies can suffer. For instance, when farmers in Kenya and Zaire used counterfeit fertilizers, both countries lost most crops.
By copying other firm’s products, counterfeiters avoid research and development costs and most marketing costs. High-tech products such as computers and their software products are especially easy to attack. As long as counterfeiting is profitable, large quantities of products are available to copy, and the laws are difficult to enforce, counterfeiters can be expected to proper for a long time.
56．The word “counterfeiting” most probably means ______.
A．making things of poor quality for profit
B．making things of good quality for profit
C．illegal making of things by copying
D．legal making of things by copying
57．The most appropriate title for the passage would be ______.
A．The Effects of Counterfeiting B．The Problem of Counterfeiting
C．The Cause of Counterfeiting D．The Profit of Counterfeiting
58．It can be inferred from the passage that hand-made products are “______.”
A．easier to counterfeit than high-tech products
B．more difficult to counterfeit than high-tech products
C．less profitable to counterfeit than high-tech products
D．more profitable to counterfeit than high-tech products
59．The quality of most counterfeit products is ______.
A．not up to the standards of America
B．up to the standards of America
C．so poor that few people want to buy the products
D．so good that most people prefer them to the authentic ones
B
There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People
have generally viewed personal growth as an external（外部的）result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language – all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks (路标) along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try new challenges to accept.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to be faced with the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we find ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experie nces. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. So we think we’re slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to cope with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity and self – doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.
60. A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when .
A. he has given up his smoking habit
B. he has made great efforts in his work
C. he is interested in making anything new
D. he has tried to determine where he is on his journey
61. In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would .
A. succeed in climbing up the social ladder
B. judge his ability to grow from his own achievements
C. face difficulties and take up challenges
D. aim high and reach his goal each time
62. When the author says “a new way of being” (para. 3), he is referring to .
A. a new approach to experiencing the world
B. a new way of taking risks
C. a new method of finding ourselves
D. a new system of adapting to change
63. For personal growth, the author supports all of the following except .
A. curiosity and more chances
B. being quick in self – adaptation
C. open – minded to new experiences
D. avoidance of internal fears and doubts
C
In this century the traditional American family is constantly faced with the threat of breakdown. Some sociologists suggest that one little–noticed cause may be the introduction of the TV dinner.
Before the appearance of television seats, the American dinner was a big event for the family. In many homes dinner time may be the only time when everyone got together. A typical dinner was usually in three stages. In the preparation stage, the children and Father frequently helped with setting while Mother put the last touches on the roast. In the eating stage, family members shared the day’s experiences and more than food was consumed. In this stage families got to know one another and made joint decisions around the dinner table, and thus the family solidarity was strengthened. In the cleaning –up stage, children or Father again gave their hands, so that their significance to the home community was clear. Unfortunately, all of these have been erased by a product—the television set.
By the beginning of the 1980s, the typical American family dinner was just twenty minutes long. The speed – up of this once – leisurely experiences is clearly connected to the overall pace of modern life and maybe a model of the modern life is the TV dinners—meals designed to be consumed between the opening and closing of a half – hour program. The once family affair has now become nothing more than the use of a fork and knife.
64. According to the passage, the American family is now threatened by .
A. poverty
B. having few children
C. poor living conditions
D. separation
65. In the past, Americans tended to .
A. spend more time eating their food at dinner table
B. eat more food than they have today
C. spend more time talking about their day’s experience at dinner table
D. talk so much that they forgot to eat
66. The shortening of the dinner time in America is related to .
A. the change of people’s tastes
B. the pace of modern life
C. the wide use of household appliances
D. the popularity of fast food
67. According to the passage, TV dinners are______.
A. meals consumed while one is watching TV
B. meals one learns to cook on TV
C. meals ordered on TV
D. meals consumed before TV
68. The best title for this passage might be .
A. Talk At Dinner Table
B. TV Dinner
C. Pace Of Modern Life
D. Problems Caused By TV
D
Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?
Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.
A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.
Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.
The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for what would be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life richer?
Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountain top. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.
69. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _____________________.
A. generally process certain inspiring characteristics
B. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people
C. are often influenced by previous generations
D. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans
70. Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who
___________ .
A. are good at demonstrating their charming characters
B. can move the masses with their forceful speeches
C. are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships
D. can provide an answer to the problems of their people
71. The author concludes that historical changes would ________ .
A. be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities
B. not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrifices
C. take place if there were heroes to lead the people
D. produce leaders with attractive personalities

American Thomas Schelling and Israeli-American Robert Aumann will share the 2005 Nobel Prize in economics. Both men have greatly influenced the way conflict and business negotiations are carried out.
The two men are being honored for their work in developing an economic idea. It is called game theory.
Game theory began as the study of decision-making in competitive situations, like games. John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern linked the theory of games with economic activities more than sixty years ago.
In the nineteen fifties, John Nash developed an idea known as the Nash equilibrium (平衡). The Nash equilibrium is the point where all sides in a competitive situation believe they have been given the best offer they will ever get. He proved this with mathematical methods.
Mr. Nash won the Nobel Prize in economics with two other men in 1994.
Mr. Schelling used the ideas of game theory to study real-life problems, such as the arms competition between the United States and the Soviet Union forty years ago. He was interested in what influenced negotiating groups. He showed how one side might decide to harm its interests for a short period of time to make gains over a longer period. Mr. Schelling also used game theory to show how people become divided by race. He found that divided societies can result even among persons mostly willing to live near people of another race.
Mr. Aumann developed game theory mathematically so that it can be useful for different
areas of study. He showed that peaceful cooperation can provide good results for all competitors in a game over a long period. This is true even among competitors with a temporary conflict of interest. Mr. Aumann also considered how reasonable decisions are made among groups. He showed that knowing what competitors know is important to decision-making.
The work of both men has influenced areas of study other than economics. International negotiators, military planners, business leaders and biologists use methods developed by Mr. Schelling and Mr. Aumann.
Mr. Schelling, an American, is a retired professor of the University of Maryland. Mr. Aumann is a citizen of both the United States and Israel. He is a retired professor of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
72. Mr. Schelling and Mr. Aumann share the 2005 Nobel Prize in economics for .
A. developing “game theory”
B. developing the Nash equilibrium
C. proving “game theory”
D. beginning the study of “game theory”
73. The underlined phra se “make gains” in the sixth paragraph probably refers to .
A. suffer loss
B. improve health
C. make money
D. make a profit
74. According to Mr. Aumann, when we want to reach a reasonable decision among groups,
we .
A. don’t have to be informed what our competitors think
B. must have a good understanding of what our competitors know
C. need only think about how we can make the most of our own interests
D. needn’t peacefully cooperate with our competitors to make a profit
75. We can infer from the text that .
A. Mr. Aumann used “game theory” to study the arms competition between the US and
the Soviet Union.
B. Mr. Schelling and Mr. Aumann only explained the game theory mathematically
C. most of the people are willing to live near their own competitors according to Mr.
Schelling
D. the game theory developed by both men is very valuable to more than economics
